-- Bumps and Bruises: Watch to see if Brandon Jacobs gets practice reps this week. I'm anticipating him coming back on Sunday and sharing carries with Derrick Ward and Reuben Droughns. ... Don't worry about Ben Roethlisberger. He'll miss some practice time with a bruised foot -- it got stepped on during Sunday's game. The Steelers will have him on Sunday when it counts. ... Chad Johnson will have the bye week to recover from a mildly sprained ankle. ... Greg Jennings won't practice, but will play. It's a pattern you should get used to as the Packers protect his hamstrings. ... Eddie Kennison is expected back for the Chiefs this week. That should help Damon Huard and Larry Johnson. ... It doesn't look as if Javon Walker will be back this week. The Broncos are hoping the knee calms down, but even if he plays, he looks to be limited enough that you should consider your options. ... The news is better for Travis Henry. His ankle sprain was mild and he'll get the start on Sunday. ... Rudi Johnson didn't practice due to his strained hamstring, but given the upcoming bye, it's hard to tell much of anything. We'll know a lot more at this time next week.
